24OCT24 (23:25) It’s official now: "Power Outage Schedule Changes to 14 Hours Daily Across Ecuador Due to Electrical Crisis
The Ministry of Energy has rescheduled power outage hours nationwide due to changing climate conditions and the situation at the Mazar reservoir.
The government had anticipated reducing the current eight-hour daily power cuts, prompted by Ecuador’s worst drought in six decades, to four hours daily by November. However, this reduction will no longer be possible.
On October 24, the Ministry of Energy confirmed that the blackout schedules will be extended due to the critical situation of the Mazar reservoir, essential for electricity generation.
Acting Energy Minister Inés Manzano announced that the new schedules will now be 14 hours daily.
“We are facing a dynamic and unprecedented crisis that requires adapting to changing scenarios. For this reason, we have made the difficult but responsible decision to adjust the rationing plan, increasing outages from 8 to 14 hours per day, with a review scheduled for Sunday,” said Manzano.
“This tough decision is based on the severe climate conditions affecting all of South America, as we face an unprecedented drought, with Ecuador being no exception. Many countries are experiencing power cuts, and we’ve all seen with astonishment the images of a dry Amazon River.”
“The main issue is the historically low water levels, as seen at Mazar and Coca Codo Sinclair. We understand the frustration this may cause in your personal and professional life, but it’s important for you to know this is a transparent and responsible decision in the current situation the country is facing.”-

16SEP26💯%Choneros🚀"On Sept. 16, under the direction of #SOUTHCOM, Joint Task Force Western Hemisphere (JTF-WHEM)
forces successfully interdicted a floating refueling station supporting illicit at-sea drug trafficking operations in the Eastern Pacific.
Intelligence confirmed the vessel's involvement with the Los Choneros violent narco-terrorist organization.
Individuals removed from the vessel have been transferred to Ecuadorian authorities. After clearing the vessel and disembarking the crew, U.S. forces sank it.
JTF-WHEM continues to conduct precise and professional operations to dismantle the logistical networks fueling narco-trafficking in the Western Hemisphere.
"Alongside our Ecuadorian partners, we are relentlessly pursuing narco-terrorists who prey on our citizens,
undermine hemispheric security, and leave death and suffering in their wake. This deliberate, lawful, and precise operation saves lives and makes our citizens—from Ecuador to the United States—safer." -

"It is an absurdity, it is laughable, to speak of such a
pending disaster as "The End of the World."
We are discussing the end of Humanity, or we are discussing the
end of Civilization, or we are perhaps even discussing
the end of some this or that Empire that we mistakenly
believe to identify with.
The end of the world will come when the sun
expands and engulfs it.
Now, is it truly a surprise that our discourse relates
economic tragedy with an ecological one?
That we actually behave as though a marked downturn in
the Market can somehow be compared to the death of Nature?
We are so enamored with our vastness and resource that we have forgotten the lark and the sparrow.
So I say, come armageddon. Come, you horsemen.
Let us speak these things no more."
